DETROIT -- Western Michigan coach P.J. Fleck would love to be able to go toe to toe with Jim Harbaugh, bouncing around to all sorts of satellite camps in the offseason.If we had the budget, I would have been right next to him. We would have been competing, how many numbers we could get, Fleck said.Fleck and other coaches in the Mid-American Conference can certainly benefit from satellite camps, but the issue remains a complicated one. On Thursday, MAC Commissioner Jon Steinbrecher called for some limits on when and where the camps can be held.We are in favor of retaining satellite camps, but there need to be some walls built around it in terms of length of days you can have it, number of times youre out, things like that, Steinbrecher said at the MACs annual media day at Detroits Ford Field.Steinbrecher suggested a 15-day window to hold the camps -- and that only coaches with recruiting responsibility and graduate assistants work at them. He also said hed advocate restricting the sites of the camps to four-year colleges.You should not be permitted to go to a high school, academy or some other third party as a location to hold such camps, he said.Steinbrecher said participation by coaches at satellite camps should count as evaluation days under the recruiting calendar.Satellite camps have become a big issue over the past year. Harbaugh has been at the center of that debate, with the Michigan coach defending the camps. The Southeastern Conference wanted them banned -- some coaches have argued that theyre just a way for programs to recruit.The Division I Council approved a proposal requiring Football Bowl Subdivision schools to hold camps at or near home, but the Division I Board of Directors rescinded that ban in early May. The MAC had voted against the ban.I think that you want to go ahead and keep satellite camps in some form, but you need to limit it, and Im not talking about limiting student-athlete opportunity, Northern Illinois coach Rod Carey said. You have to limit that time, because you know whats not going on? Assistant coaches arent on our campuses dealing with our players.Fleck, whose team is picked to win the MAC this year in the preseason media poll, said WMU does find satellite camps useful, but he agrees with the commissioner that they need to be limited somehow.He did express admiration for the way Harbaugh approaches them.One thing Harbaugh does that I respect is that hes constantly finding ways to get the brand out there, but hes so genuine of why hes doing it. You watch him, hes coaching every camp, Fleck said. Hes not standing there ... like a CEO and just saying, `Im here.Satellite camps arent the only prospect-related issue facing college football. Steinbrecher said the leagues coaches favor the addition of an early signing period for football, and hed like football prospects to be able to make official visits after their junior year of high school, instead of having to wait until the fall of senior year.This is much more in line with the typical high school student, who will make campus visits the summer before their senior year, Steinbrecher said. Lets provide our prospects with the opportunity to visit where they want during the summer.Steinbrecher also said the MACs council of athletic directors is considering proposals from the student-athlete advisory committee aimed at managing time demands on athletes.---Follow Noah Trister at www.Twitter.com/noahtrister Puma Shoes Wholesale China .

Since the NFL introduced the salary cap in 1994, team owners havent been shy about changing head coaches. Theres been an average of seven changes per year, and that number has held up for more than two decades.There have been 43 changes since 2011, which is slightly more than that seven-per-year mark.Owners have changed coaches so often that the list of legitimate candidates continues to dry up. Last year, six offensive assistants got head-coaching jobs and the Titans signed then-interim Mike Mularkey to a three-year deal.So who are the candidates to keep an eye on when head-coaching jobs open at the end of the season?First, keep an eye on the trend of offensive assisstants getting top jobs.dddddddddddd That likely wont go away, and there are a several offensive coordinators who will get interviews.?Second, dont look to the collegiate level. It appears unlikely that any college coaches will be in the mix for NFL jobs. Notre Dames Brian Kelly had been on the radar of some NFL owners in recent years, but the Fighting Irish went just 4-8 this season. UCLAs Jim Mora has been an NFL head coach twice before, but the Bruins went 4-8 too.?Here are 16 candidates who could be head coaches in 2017, in no order:? ' ' '
